Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Ocean documentation to determine whether a similar page already exists and which current and older protocols it covers. Organize the page around user tasks, identify the recommended current approach for each, and clearly mark older alternatives; done means newcomers can distinguish current practices from historical ones.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As the Ocean toolkit grows, you'll likely have a problem that has affected us in the Rosetta community: documentation for older protocols persists, and it can be difficult for a new user to pick out the best current practices. A page organized by tasks that a user might want to perform, indicating the best current way to accomplish the task, followed by a list of older ways that are clearly marked as older, would be very useful. (Note that I have not exhaustively explored the Ocean documentation. It is possible that this already exists.)
